Atlanta Falcons restricted free-agent FS Ricardo Allen has received the second-round tender offer from the Falcons. He will make $2.914 million if he signs the tender offer, but the two sides could reach a long-term agreement.

Atlanta Falcons FS Ricardo Allen is up to 196 pounds from 187 pounds last season and said he's eating six or seven times a day to retain the weight.

"I was eating a breakfast and then I was eating at the end of the day," Allen said. "In the middle of it, I was losing a bunch of weight. I was burning everything. We'd come out to practice and before practice, I wasn't really eating much, either. Now, I've got a little bit more weight to come with me. I feel like my speed has stayed the same. I'm running hard. My conditioning feels pretty good."
